The extra RP for auto shop client jobs and exotic exports is actually car meet rep, right? If so, nice!

[KineticZeroZ]

Aside from the limited time Everon nonsense I’m on board for the week.

Are Auto Shop car deliveries on bonus rate?

Nope, it's just regular rp. Having bonus on car meet rp with ridiclous level cap and small amount of rp points gain from activities is just too generous. Well you can always play same autoshop contracts where it would take you around 2 hours for one level gain or those tuner races if you find anyone to play with because they are mostly ghost town since  few months after its release thanks to R* wonderful implementation of car meet level system and balance of tuner cars that you can use in those races.

The new Hotring Everon is nice and so are some of the new tracks.

 

Unfortunately, Rockstar have got it wrong again! The new car and the 3X Hotring races should be featured on the MAIN MENU! Instead, there are links to content from weeks and months ago and NO-ONE is in these races besides specialists.

Gotta deal with Moodymuthaf*cka all week?

Autoshop contracts 3x is a huge opportunity for money maker. You can make millions abusing the phone search. Sometimes you even get full payout even if youre not the host, dont know if its a bug (a nice one tbh). On the other side i barely get more than 5 exports now, seemed easier to find cars in the past. I suppose they nerfed it (knowing R* is not to be excluded).

Bummer, thanks for clarifying. I'm at like level 186 in the car meet and have resorted to AFKing there since it's the easiest way to get any RP.

[DrEeveell]

I was considering getting a Hotring Everon. Until I saw that it was limited time. Screw that noise.

[Paerindal]

The Union depository heist ended up not with a x3GTA$, nor a x2GTA$, no longer a x1GTA$ but with 0GTA$...

 

The mission ended normally. But when returning to the public lobby with the results of the heist, the game went into Story mode.

Back to online mode. This time the heist report is displayed. But nothing more in hand. Nor in the bank. On the workshop preparation board, the three heists to choose from. Which means the U.D. heist was done...

 

I got double-crossed by the receivers. <8

I'm lvl 410 and that's with playing almost everyday and visiting car meet to gain points with regular activities there that could be done solo as well with heavily playing pursuit races which grant the most rp for the whole summer of 2021 when it was released and even later. Goes without saying all of that legit wihout afk and it took me more than 1.5 years to get there. To reach lvl1000 with this pace i would need at least 2 more years so until or after support for GTAO will be done. It's just sad...

Good RP haul this morning, and plenty cash to be made just plodding about for me. Not that I need it, but I'll surely take it after a big spend this year with that lovely garage storage added.

 

Quite like the new car too, sits nicely in my racer garage with the Sabre.

That's pretty unfortunate, hopefully just a one-time thing for you. It worked fine for me just now, saw your post and thought I'd try and see if it'd happen to me.

[Jenkiiii]

Good news. Rockstar have now updated the main menu to directly ink to Hotring races .

[El Cavilldo]

F*ck this FOMO crap, I'll play this DLC when it's complete; I'll fly out to No Man's Sky, my friends. 

 

See you next week! 

 

[Spectre "2K"]

FOMO already feels in poor taste, but something about making a new Hotring variant FOMO feels even more dirty to me for some reason. I know they aren't played very much, but still

[Exsanguination]

Nice! I haven’t played the auto shop robberies in a while. 

[Arrows to Athens]

Rockstar will eventually apply FOMO to every single car in this game. When the time is up, the streets of Los Santos will be empty. There will be no cars left to steal. There will be no cars to buy. You will only have your currently owned personal vehicles. If you sell any of them, you won't be able to buy them again.

Good. Can't wait to jog to Paleto and back to LS.

 

Pretend I got a DUI.

My Expert Racer Review of the new Hotring Everon and its New Tracks

 

I was literally last night pondering what to do with my 4 mil sitting in my bank. Then this Toyota Tundra ERRRR Hotring Everon comes at the PERFECT time. As someone REALLY good at racing in this game from day 1, and a big NASCAR fan, this truck is WORTH THE MONEY. Kind of weird its allowed to race against Cup cars, but whatever. Maxed out, its a tad faster top speed and MAXES out on handling, way more than the Sabre. That handling is very noticeable on these new tracks. Kudos to Rockstar, these new tracks are REALLY well made. Waterway and Fort Zancudo are my favorites. Waterway is a great "short track" by Rockstar standards. The water just cresting over onto the track on the inside line of both figure 8 track turns is the type of design perfection creativity you usually only see from Player Created tracks. Its banking and turn radius are perfection. The truck can out-handle the cars that easily get out of shape on the low line here. The track has some subtle little difficulties to it, and I love it for that. Dont know why fools keep splashing into the water on the low line, it very clearly slows you down if the water swells a tad too high there. Fort Zancudo is like a Martinsville road course. Multiple Mville hairpins are a delight to outmaneuver the competition. Unfortunately you have to keep Catchup on this month so the idiots on these tracks dont destroy you in the turns as you take the fastest lines. These new tracks have several subtle little difficulties that can easily get you out of shape if you press too hard. Found out the hard way pressing on the final lap and screwed myself twice today. These new ones destroy the OG Sabre tracks. 

 

The truck itself offers a few more cool and sensible looking paint schemes than the Sabre has IMO, even with mostly the same sponsors. Setting races to 10 min worth of race time and having 15+ truck field is awarding 150k+ for 1st with 3X money on. Cant dominate as much as I can in open wheel races that have catchup off, but Ive had SO MUCH fun today with this new Truck Series! 

 

Found a group of clean racers while I was hosting, and racing Waterworks 3 wide everyone holding their lines in the turns multiple laps brought a NASCAR tear to my eye. Unfortunately the clean fest backfired for me on final lap 15 when we went 4 trucks door to door and bumper to bumper in a clump over the midtrack jump and I came out the loser on landing even though I was middle truck front row. The trucks handling is great, not so easy a noob can do it perfectly, but able to slide the truck a tad in corners and not have it spin out so easily.

Waterway, not Waterworks

So i make a guess.

My final phase being ready for several weeks i imagine that there was a conflict with the x3GTA$ version of this week.

Yeah, I've been playing those today too, and I think those are also my favorites. I have to put the Altruist camp one into the "do not like" pile though.

 

I checked my Sabre liveries vs the Everon, and the Sabre actually has 2 more. The Righteous Slaughter and eCola X Sprunk ones. I haven't done a strict side-by-side comparison but the liveries otherwise seem almost identical.

3x for Contracts. Good, good. Dominator ASP was one of the cars with nearly impenetrable louvres, right?

I like the RR, has the louvers too.

[Insoluble Fiber]

i caught myself calling the hotring everon as "evering" by some accidental reason :L 

[fluffball]

For those unaware, it seems that they've somehow made the playlist method for contracts work again... (as in replaying a contract finale via a playlist)

 

You could say it's relatively lucrative at 800k per ~15mins when doing UD

How is it an abuse joining Autoshop missions by quick job? It is an abuse to get the full cut on purpose (be CEO or MC then join by quickjob, but abort first try).
